[Pyobjc-dev] Quartz python bindings

[Orestis M. <or...@or...>]

Hi there,

I just came across this: http://developer.apple.com/graphicsimaging/pythonandquartz.html

Which describes a set of nice pythonic APIs for Quartz. Example:

# step 1: import the required modules
from CoreGraphics import *
import math

# step 2: create the bitmap context
# NOTE: on Panther use cs = CGColorSpaceCreateDeviceRGB()
cs = CGColorSpaceCreateWithName( kCGColorSpaceGenericRGB )
c = CGBitmapContextCreateWithColor( 256, 256, cs, (0,0,0,0) )

# step 3: draw a yellow square with a red outline
c.saveGState()
c.setRGBStrokeColor(1,0,0,1)			# red
c.setRGBFillColor(1,1,0,1)			# yellow
c.setLineWidth(3)
c.setLineJoin(kCGLineJoinBevel)
c.addRect( CGRectMake( 32.5, 32.5, 191, 191 ) )
c.drawPath( kCGPathFillStroke );
c.restoreGState()

# step 4: write out the file in PNG format
c.writeToFile ("out.png", kCGImageFormatPNG)


I was wondering if this is:

a) Part of PyObjC (it seems not)
b) up-to-date
c) recommended to use
d) open-source

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Orestis
